Hey Everyone,
I was having some issues with my old account so I decided to change the address and most my posts over. So this will be my new blog account and should stay as such. Sorry for any confusion!
I know it has been a couple weeks since my last entry. I will try to be a little more frequent in my postings from now on.
Things have been going well here in Korea. I've been meeting some cool people, exploring Busan, and having a good time at work. I spent the last week up in Seoul for training as a part of EPIK (English Program in Korea), the national public school foreign teacher program. It was really good but it is nice to be back in Busan.
A couple weeks ago I hurt my finger playing volleyball, apparently tearing some ligaments. The doctor I saw said it would be at least 3-6 weeks of my finger being in a splint but at least now I can say that Korea has a pretty good health care system. In and out in 1.5 hours on a really busy day after a 3 day national holiday. He also called the injury 'massive collateral damage to the ligaments' which just sounds awesome!
For this post I thought I would share a bit about my apartment and where I'm living. As I mentioned in my previous post, I am in an area called Haeundae (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haeundae-gu,_Busan), more specifically, Haeundae New Town, which is quite close to the beach. There are tonnes of restaurants, shops, bars, as well as foreigners in this area. I am really close to the subway and in a relatively new apartment building.
My apartment is essentially a bachelor studio. It is small but has everything in it that I need. Below are some pictures:

I hope that gives you a better clue about where I'm living. As I said, it's not big but it has everything I need.
I'll be posting more soon about what I've been up to since I've been here!
Cheers,
John

ReplyDeleteThat's what she said.
1. Cam--I love you!
ReplyDelete2. John--I hate you and your life of Haeundae luxury. My view is of a telephone pole with 50,000 internet and phone wires connected in a gigantic wad. I'm visiting you more often. P.S.-enjoy the shower. Mine is IN the toilet. Welcome to my life.
